    Yea that makes sense. I’ve been curious about Arch given how many resources there are for learning it. Weirdly enough I know two people who have tried it, one said it was the easiest setup they’ve ever done and the other said it bricked their laptop.

      If you want to try arch I recommend EndeavourOS. It’s as close as you can get to vanilla arch without doing all the compiling yourself.

        unless you want to go the hard way at least once just for the learning experience

          I do like making life too difficult only to regret it later and end up doing what everyone suggested anyway

            are you me?
            what I don’t regret is what I learned along the way

              Ya sometimes you only get the interesting details by jumping in the deep end

          Go with a vm first, or use a spare laptop just. Don’t go nuking your primary machine.

      bricking a laptop with linux is incredibly unlikely.

      Making the system unbootable so you need to boot from USB to fix it otoh… not so much.
